The document provides an overview of petroleum geo-mechanics research capabilities at Curtin University, highlighting their true triaxial stress cell (TTSC). The TTSC allows for testing on small rock samples (5cm cubes) under high stresses (up to 645MPa) in all directions and various conditions like elevated temperatures and pore pressures. It can monitor acoustic emissions and strains during experiments like hydraulic fracturing to study fracture initiation, propagation, and interaction in shale and other reservoirs.
